I found it on Channel 2 News' website:<BR/><BR/>Eddie Faye Gates works with survivors from the Tulsa Race Riot.<BR/><BR/>She says it was an emotional moment, marking a new beginning in race relations.<BR/><BR/>"I've seen extreme examples of racism and (Tuesday) night it was purged from me. I could just feel it flowing out," says Gates.<BR/><BR/>Love you,<BR/>SallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832361.post-39600066806124750732008-11-06T15:33:00.000-06:002008-11-06T15:33:00.000-06:00Thanks, Bek,Morgan, I know what you mean.

For me, as it should be for everyone, including black Americans, race should have NOTHING to do with it. It SHOULD be about being the best man (or woman) for the job.<BR/><BR/>Bill,<BR/>thanks for coming by and taking time for your gracious comment.Rick Boynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518041582653090943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832361.post-6453367506332669162008-11-06T15:17:00.000-06:002008-11-06T15:17:00.000-06:00Rick,Came here by way of Steve's link love today. ...Rick,<BR/><BR/>Came here by way of Steve's link love today.

But honestly, as a white girl, I don't think that I can fully appreciate what it means to many in the African-American community to have an African-American president for the first time. It is a very emotional thing to a lot of people.<BR/><BR/>We are disappointed about McCain, but President-Elect Obama certainly has our prayers!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167082770923572839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832361.post-27277037356306849332008-11-05T19:08:00.000-06:002008-11-05T19:08:00.000-06:00: )Well said, Lord.You too, Rick.: )<BR/><BR/>Well said, Lord.<BR/>You too, Rick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
